Functionality of sigsetjmp(3) on Linux & Solaris (different)
|

| As far as I can tell, both Linux & Solaris has functions call sigsetjmp,
but they do (completely) different things. Can anyone comment on why this
difference exists, does POSIX have anything to say on the subject, and
which is better or worse to use.
In my (limited) testing, it seems like should always use sigsetjmp (not
setjmp) when working under Linux. This does not appear to be true under
Solaris.

They do *exactly* the same thing on my Linux and Solaris systems.
What are the differences you observed on yours?

Have you read the respective man pages? It is clear from the man pages
that they are different.

I didn't need to since I know full well what this function does.
Just in case I missed something, I just re-read the man pages.
Guess what: they say (almost) exactly the same thing.

Pray tell what you think the difference is.

Then you need to go back and read more carefully.

It would help if both of you identified which version/release
of Solaris/Linux you are talking about.
It is possible that sigsetjmp() was different on earlier versions of
these systems but is the same on the latest versions of both systems.
Please don't waste our time just saying "I'm right / you're wrong."
Produce some facts, please.

Looks like you are not interested in a useful discussion :-(
A constructive contribution would name the putative differences
to allow a discussion.
